8-27 from: - link - OF George Springer Connecticut 6'3 205 R/R - a rejuvenation to a solid program that used to appear in the CWS in Omaha years back, this young man has plus tools across the board, strength is his power and pure straight away running speed, arm is plus and he has good range, instincts are ok to play either OF corner and even CF if needed. Will steal bases on occ and comps to Jeff Franceour, so he should produce some runs as a 3 or 5 hole hitter in a lineup.
8-27 from: - link - LHP Danny Hultzen Virginia 6'2 1/2 195 L/L - also a quality hitter and first base man, Hultzen has a chance to be a 3-4 man in ML rotation, shows enough ML velo on Fb, range is 88-93, most are 89-91 with sink when down, gets hurt middle up in zone, also cb tends to flatten out and backdoor type action vs RHH, needs to lead with elbow and run cb in on RHH. Also straight change that's workable now and should improve in pro ball with more exposure.
Bryan Brickhouse:
8-12-10 from: - link - RHP - The Woodlands (Texas) HS Brickhouse comes from the same high school that produced first-rounder Jameson Taillon this year. He has a nice pitcher's frame with good arm speed. His fastball gets up to 94 mph with command and he mixes in an above-average curveball. Brickhouse is committed to North Carolina.
8-18-10 from: - link - Local two-way player Daniel Camarena (San Diego) doubled (short-hopped the right-field fence to drive in the game's first run) in three at-bats and also took the loss after allowing two runs on a walk and two doubles in the seventh. As a pitcher, Camarena delivered his fastball in the 83-86 mph range and seemed to rely a lot on his breaking ball.
8-19-10 from: - http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=4935 - Camarena appeared in this game as both a positional player and as a pitcher, but it was his swing in the batter’s box that really caught my eye. There are some young players that I have watched over the years that I feel just ‘get it,’ and Camarena is one of those hitters. He’s a lefty with good size and obvious bat speed with plenty of physical projection left for added strength. He looks like a hitter with sloped shoulders and very good extension in his swing. He showed the ability to hit the ball with back-spin, driving a double in the second to deep right field off of Michael Kelly, a ball that seemed to carry a lot farther than what it looked like it would do off the bat. That gives him promising power potential, and he also was throwing in the upper 80s with a big, slow curveball.
8-21-10 from: - link - Anthony Meo generated some buzz by being one of the hardest throwers in the Cape this summer. The Coastal Carolina right-hander had a strong spring for the Chanticleers but struggled slightly with Bourne in the Cape. Even though his fastball sits 94-95 MPH, regularly touching higher, Meo hasn’t posted elite strikeout rates. After whiffing 23.4% of hitters this spring, Meo sent just 15.8% of Cape batters down on strikes. Meo augments his mid-to-upper 90’s fastball with a 91-92 MPH cutter but lacks a quality off-speed pitch. If his off-speed stuff can develop, Meo could go high in the first round. If not, someone will still want to take a chance on that arm strength pretty early.
